Chapter 74 Shanghai City
Lu Jingting was promoted by his father-in-law and worked in the Cultural Hall in Shanghai. At that time, the French set up entertainment halls and took his own way. In order to repay favors, he gave 3% of the shares to Feng Xiaoxiao. Lu Lu and Lu Ting often accompanied their grandmother Fang and their mother Feng Xiaoxiao to listen to operas. The listeners here all knew the siblings.
Seeing the car coming from afar, he quickly stepped down the steps with a smile, opened the car door, and said diligently: "Miss Lu, Master Lu, what wind has blown you two today? You haven't come to us for more than a month."
Lu Ting often came and went there, and was very familiar with them. He smiled and said, "Boss Wang has gone to another place to go on stage. It's boring to listen to others singing. I count the days, and Boss Wang is coming back."
"Young Master Lu is right. Boss Wang came back yesterday and went on stage today to sing "Miss Jiujin"." The listener said with a smile.
Lu Ting took out a few copper plates and gave them a reward. While they were talking, Yi Huan looked around. There were big six-character signs with the words "Daximen Entertainment Hall" hanging on the store, and two advertisements several meters long and wide were posted on the left and right.
The listener led the four people in, and Lu Ting asked, "Is there a private room upstairs? Let them leave a good sight for me. We will support Boss Wang today."
"No, Lu Ting, you didn't book a private room in advance? What if there is no seat?" Lu Lu asked unhappily.
"If there is no place, let's go shopping." Yi Huan quickly smoothed out the situation.
Tingmao hurriedly said, "There are private rooms and private rooms." What a joke, Master Lu is here, how could there be no private rooms? Teng also wants to free up one. Tingmao led the four people to the third floor and found a waiter to ask clearly. He was lucky and there was still a private room without anyone making a reservation.
Ask the waiter to record the box in Lu Ting's name, "Young Master, Miss, what else do you have to give?"
"Go down, I'll call you if you have something to do." Lu Lu said with a smile.
The listener and the waiter retreated. After a while, the waiter brought the fruit saucer and tea in and pulled down the red silk curtains in the box. At ten o'clock, the show started and the group sang: "The sun came out three meters high, and Shi Er Lao hurriedly came." Then an old student appeared with a fan.
Just when Yi Huan was listening to the opera, Yan Zi returned to the Yi Mansion with the magic box and the flowers. The servants of the Yi family told him, "My master is not at home."
"I'm here to find Miss Four." Yan Zi smiled. It was just right for Yi's father to be not at home.
The Yi family said, "My fourth lady is not at home either."
Yan Zihui asked in surprise: "Where has Miss Four gone? When will you come back?"
"Miss Four has gone on a long journey. I don't know when I will come back." After the servant answered, he closed the door.
Yan Zi frowned. The servants of Yi family were a little wrong, as if something was hidden. Rushi knocked on the door again. This time the servants stopped opening the door and said through the door: "Captain Yan, please come back, the young man knows nothing."
This is a desire to cover up, what happened? Huan'er was angry about his farewell without saying goodbye? It shouldn't be possible. Yan Zihui immediately denied that Huan'er was not the kind of person who was considerate. The possibility of this situation was Yi's father. Yan Zihui thought for a few minutes and decided not to fight Yi's father head-on and fight in a roundabout way.
Back at the teaching group's residence, Yan Zi went back to Yi Mansion and made a phone call, "Please ask your fourth lady to answer the phone."
"Sir, sorry, my fourth lady is not at home." The maid of the Yi family replied.
"Where did Miss Fourth go? When will you come back?" Yan Zi asked.
The maid from the Yi family said, "Who is sir?"
"I'm Yan Zihui." Yan Zi replied.
"Yan Yanyan..." The maid of the Yi family stuttered a little.
"Where has the fourth lady gone? When will I come back?" Yan Zihui's tone became a little worse. He hadn't seen each other for several days and had a strong longing for love. He came to find someone in anger. Once he relieved the pain of lovesickness, he would forget it if he didn't see anyone. He still didn't know where to go. It was like a basin of ice water poured on his head in a cold winter, causing him to cool down halfway.
"Mr. Yan, my fourth lady is on a long journey and I don't know when I will come back." The maid of the Yi family said tremblingly.
I've really gone on a long journey! I'm not hiding at home and avoiding it.
Where has she gone?
Yan Zihui frowned and thought for a while. He probably couldn't get any valid information from the Yi family. He had to find another way. Yan Zihui hung up the phone. Yi Huan didn't know that Yan Zihui tried every means to find out about her. She happily finished the show with Lu Lu and the other two and went to the banquet hall for lunch.
Before the dishes were served, Yi Huan and Lu Lu went to the bathroom. Yi Huan solved the problem and came out to wash his hands. Before Lu Lu came out, she squatted in the small room and said, "Auntie, you go back to your seat first, my stomach hurts a little."
"It doesn't matter, right? If the pain is severe, go to see the doctor." Yi Huan asked worriedly.
"It doesn't matter, it should be time to relieve the stinky smell." Lu Lu said with a smile.
"Then I'll go out first." Yi Huan washed her hands and walked out of the bathroom. At the corner, she was almost knocked down. Fortunately, she held the wall in time and did not fall to the ground.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." A young woman came over, and she gasped slightly, "Miss, have you just seen a man in a white suit?"
"No, I just came out of the bathroom and you were the first person I met." Yi Huan replied truthfully.
"Let him escape again." The young woman turned around and left in annoyance.
Yi Huan waited for a while before walking forward. At this time, he found that the door of a room next to him was opened. A man leaned out and looked around. When he saw Yi Huan, a stunning flashed in his eyes. He walked out of the room and said with a smile: "Hi, Miss, my surname is Zhou, and my name is Ji Chun."
Zhou Jichun was wearing a straight white suit. Yi Huan knew that it was the person whom the woman was chasing just now. Her eyes flashed slightly. Seeing him reaching out, she took a step back and bowed her knees to perform an ancient ceremony, "Hello Mr. Zhou."
"Miss, I must state that I don't want to be a frivolous lady. Shaking hands is a Western etiquette." Zhou Jichun said seriously.
Yi Huan said righteously: "I know handshake gifts are Western etiquette, but does Mr. Zhou know the order of handshake? Between elders and younger generations, the younger generation can reach out to hold hands; between the host and the guest, the host will take the initiative to reach out to the hand; between men and women, especially those who do not know, the woman must first reach out to the hand, and the man can reach out to the hand; even if the man is older and the age of the woman's father, in general social occasions, women will still be the first to reach out to the hand, unless the man is already the age of the ancestors."
"What the lady said is that I am rude." Zhou Jichun bowed, "I have met Miss."
"Sir, don't be too polite." Yi Huan said lightly.
Zhou Jichun claimed to be a romantic figure who had passed by a bunch of flowers and had no leaves on her body. Whether it was a lady from a family or a jassic family in Shanghai, he would have known anyone who was good-looking. But he had never seen her as beautiful as Yi Huan. Seeing her dressing and dressing, she was obviously a wealthy daughter, so there was no reason not to know her. So she asked with a smile: "I'm sorry, I don't know whose daughter is, but who came to visit relatives in Shanghai?"
Yi Huan didn't want to answer his question and wanted to walk past him. Zhou Jichun reached out to stop her, "Miss, don't keep people from being thousands of miles away. Meeting is fate. Let's make friends."
"Zhou Jichun, what are you going to do?" Lu Lu came over.
"Lu Lu, why are you here?" Zhou Jichun and Lu Lu knew each other.
"Why can't I be here? I asked your Zhou family to give me a package here." Lu Lu said angrily.
"Don't be so angry. I apologized for the last time. Why are you still angry?" Zhou Jichun said with a smile.
"I'm not angry, I'm too lazy to be angry with you. What do you want to do? What do you want to stop my little aunt?" Lu Lu asked.
"Your little aunt?" Zhou Jichun pointed at Yi Huan, "Is she your little aunt? Your grandfather's illegitimate daughter left behind?"
Lu Lu said angrily: "Ah, the dog spits out ivory from his mouth. This is my aunt in the Yi family."
"Which Yi family is there a family named Yi in Shanghai?" Zhou Jichun asked.
"Lulu, don't talk to him so much. Let's go, I'm hungry, let's go for a meal." Yi Huan had a worse impression of him because of Zhou Jichun's words, so he pulled Lu Lu away quickly.
Zhou Jichun looked at Yi Huan's back with deep eyes. If such a pretty person is missed, it would be a great regret in his life. Zhou Jichun made up his mind to make acquaintance with Yi Huan and be friends. After a while, he appeared at the table where Yi Huan and the four of them were dining. "Lu Ting, what a coincidence, you came here to have a meal too."
Yi Huan frowned slightly, but she didn't expect this man to be silly and sneered. Lu Lu sneered: "Zhou Jichun, don't pretend to behave. We met just now, okay, what's the coincidence? Besides, come to the banquet hall and don't eat, can we dance?"
"Little girl Lulu, you are so sharp-tongued, be careful not to get married." Zhou Jichun joked.
Lu Lu rolled her eyes and said, "I can get married or not, I don't need you to take care of it."
"Why are you two quarrels when you meet? How old are you? You're still like this, okay, stop making trouble. Ji Chun, you are the same person, do you want to be together?" Lu Ting didn't want Lu Lu to offend Zhou Ji Chun, because Lu Jingting worked with Zhou Ji Chun's father, and Zhou Ji Chun's uncle was the governor of the Hudong Army.
Just as Zhou Jichun was in his mind, he immediately squeezed down Yi Huan and Lu Lu, "Then I'm not polite, I'll bother you."
Yi Huan moved the chair to Yi Haoran. Zhou Jichun seemed not to notice Yi Huan's avoidance and smiled and said, "Lu Ting, who are these two?"
"Auntie, this is Zhou Jichun, the fourth son of Director Zhou of the Culture Department, Jichun. This is Yi Huan, my eldest aunt's sister-in-law, and Yi Haoran." Lu Ting followed Western etiquette and introduced Zhou Jichun to Yi Huan.
"Yi Huan, good name, can I call you Huan'er?" Zhou Jichun asked with a smile.
Yi Huan smiled and said, "You and Lu Ting are friends, so just call me aunt with him."
Zhou Jichun shook his head, "No, no, I will call you a little aunt, and I will call you an old one."
"My aunt has a foreign name, you can call me aunt Vyvyan." Yi Haoran helped Yi Huan.
"Vyvyan, this name sounds really nice. I also have a foreign name. My foreign name is Holman." Zhou Jichun smiled.
Zhou Jichun has always been very popular with women, and the methods of chasing her girlfriends are endless. Telling jokes is his specialty. In order to make Yi Huan smile, Zhou Jichun told a joke, "Early in the morning, the snail mother took the little snail out of the house. The little snail asked her mother in confusion: 'Where are we going?' The snail mother said: 'Didn't you agree to take you to a blind date?' The little snail said: 'But I'm still young!' The snail mother said: 'It'll be almost done when you get there!'"
"Can snails talk? You can just come and ask them to tell me, and I will have a long experience." Lu Lu said contemptuously.
"This is a joke, which means that the snails walk slowly," Zhou Jichun explained.
"The jokes must be realistic. Snails obviously don't know how to speak, but they are blind dates. You think they are humans." Lu Lu argued.
Not talking about animal jokes, Zhou Jichun said something else, "Two men went to the mountain to play, and one of them accidentally fell off the cliff. The companion shouted anxiously: 'Brother, how are you doing? Is there anything wrong?'. Only when the person fell down replied: 'I don't know, I'm still falling down..."
Lu Lu curled her lips, "Is this a joke? Is this a tragedy? Is it good? I can't tell jokes, just shut up."
"I'll change another one." Zhou Jichun was not discouraged. "A warship was sailing on the sea. On one night, a sailor suddenly discovered a little light in the distance..."
But no matter what he said, Lu Lu could find a place to dismantle him. With the two of them, the meal was very lively. Zhou Jichun and Lu Lu were having a lot of fun and didn't even bother to please Yi Huan.
After dinner, Lu Lu drove the person away, "Zhou Jichun, you haven't left yet, isn't it enough for a meal?"
"I'm fine in the afternoon, I can go to the Bund with you or go to the City God Temple." Zhou Jichun said two other places that people who come to Shanghai to play often go to.
Lu Lu snorted and said, "Who told you that we are going to the Bund and the City God Temple."
"Then where are you going?" Zhou Jichun asked.
"I won't tell you." Lu Lu took Yi Huan's arm and raised her head, "Little aunt, let's go."
Lu Ting and Yi Haoran quickly followed, and Zhou Jichun also wanted to follow him, but as soon as he went downstairs, he was caught by the woman who had chased him before. "Ji Chun, where have you been? I searched all the way upstairs and downstairs, but I couldn't find you."
Ouch, it's bad. Zhou Jichun cried out in secret, but he didn't show his face. He hugged the woman's shoulder with a smile, "You're not finding me. Let's go dance."
After walking out of the entertainment hall, Yi Huan got into the car. Lu Lu looked back and said, "Where is the one with the surname Zhou?"
"You didn't drive someone away just now, what are you asking now?" Lu Ting glanced at her sideways and said.
Lu Lu snorted, opened the car door, and sat in. Yi Huan pursed her lips and smiled. This was a pair of happy enemies.
"Lulu, where are we going?" Lu Ting asked.
"Go to the Bund." Lu Lu replied.
"You said you wouldn't go just now." Lu Ting looked back at her.
"I am a woman. Women can change their minds at any time if they want to change their minds. Can't it be?" Lu Luao said seriously.
